Very cool watercolor style!! I really like the effects you did for the wooden log.

:-) Richard Svensson replies: "Thanks; you do some amazing watercolor work yourself!"

With this leprechaun's luck he won't have any gold and will have to be ransomed by his mother in law lol! I love the way this pic is put together, take away even one peice and it still is good but everything together makes it great!

:-) Richard Svensson replies: "Aah; but leprechauns are sneaky little buggers. They always get away! Thanks for your very nice comment!"

This is such a wonderful painting! You really captured the Leprechauns ’essence’! 2

:-) Richard Svensson replies: "Thank you! And leprechauns that are so hard to capture12"

Probably should have been a shamrock in his hat, not a clover

Other than that - nice illustration

:-) Richard Svensson replies: "Couldn’t find one on this particular day."

:-) Richard Svensson replies: "Thanks! Glad you liked him! I’m sure he’s a pretty happy leprechaun (like most of them are). He just needs to keep a better check on those pesky humans."

This one is great. I’ve been working on giant hands and little people for the graphic novel I’ve been working on. It’s so hard to keep the proportions similar from picture to picture. Say, that leprechaun looks like he’s had a little too much too drink. While a little brown jug sat down beside him would look really fitting, it might not do so well in a childrens’ story.

:-) Richard Svensson replies: "Thanks! Hands are notoriously hard to draw, but I think I’m getting the hang of it now. it’s so easy to take a glance on your own hands for a reference while drawing.
Leprechauns don’t mind a drink -They’ve got that in common with most Irish, i suppose."
